excuses, excuses

I don't even have a good excuse....

I guess you can call this a rut.

Maybe a blue period.

Once upon a time ago, I used my wedding as an excuse - well I'm married.Then, I wanted (needed?) a new sewing machine - well I have a new sewing machine.And then, I wanted to have the I SPY charms sorted for the first quilt - well I have them sorted for two quilts and half way sorted for the other two (& possibly a 5th on the way...)

And then there is my travel applique project. Forever or so it seems ago, I pieced the blocks and started to get the cats done. Then I had to get some other things done first.Now I am prepareing the cats - so I can sew them in airports and on planes in May.

Luckily, I can say that last night I finally prepared 4 more cats - 7 down 8 to go.

I really need to make up lists - because without them I am floundering...

My top 25 quilts to get done... (That list could easily be more, but I want to visit (o.k. locate) my projects before tackeling that list.Quilty things to do this week - a month is too long of a period for me - I could easily "need" a daily list... But I have yet to even start a list...

I have a quilt visiting a long armer right now - hopefully her return will make me return to quilting.

In the mean time, I am going to a quilters yard sale on Saturday... I need more fabric like I need a hole in my head, but... (I am on the lookout for yardage suitable for backgrounds - Judy Martin's new book, SCRAPS landed in my mail box last week and there are a few patterns that need 1 or 2 background pieces to work...)

And hopefully on the 7th or 8th I will be going to the big quilt show in Lancaster, PA. - Maybe that should be a reward for piecing SOMETHING! Oh that is it, I have resorted to bribing myself...

The dinner party went well, once again everyone liked my brisket :o) The weather is beautiful - I really need to go down to see THE cherry blossoms...

Well it appears that I have gone from having nothing to say to saying a lot...
